To Connect to Visitor Wireless

Credit card payment Coupon Option Other service or membership option After you pay, you are connected

From AT&T You Can Purchases

Internet connection outside of Penn State networks

Can navigate to Penn State sites Do not have any authorization

◦ No recognized IP address◦ No Access Account

Kind of Connection

People can connect to the Internet at various places using their laptops

People who travel are used to this type of Pay for Use service

Frequent travelers are likely to have automated (and less expensive) accounts◦ Can subscribe through AT&T◦ I use a service called Boingo

Why is This Useful

I don’t see the point If I have an Access Account, I’d use the free

Wireless 2.0 connection

Use STAA With attwifi?

Yes – visiting lecturer, for example Out of scope of the Wireless 2.0 and Visitor

Wireless I suggest we define our requirements

Networking Needs Not Met?
